2-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)benzenemethanol

Description:

2-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)benzenemethanol, also known as tert-butylphenylmethanol, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a tert-butyl group attached to a phenyl ring, along with a hydroxymethyl group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic tert-butyl group. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group contributes to its potential as a precursor in various chemical syntheses and as an intermediate in the production of other organic compounds. Additionally, it may exhibit properties such as moderate volatility and stability under standard conditions. Its applications can range from use in fragrances and flavorings to serving as a building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
